Hello,
It was recommended I post here instead of the Ford 8N forum in case there's a difference with my model tractor. I was under the impression the Ford and Ferguson 8Ns were identical but maybe not. My starter has a short and is mounted on the left side of the motor but I can't remove it as it's butted up against the distributor that sits directly in front of it. I've attached a crude drawing of my dilemma in case any of you fine folks has any input. This was a tractor I'd inherited recently and motors are not my strong suit. Photo attached as well...only one I had readily available. Appreciate the help!
